The Last Train Poem by Binayakumar Mohanty

The Last Train

Rating: 4.8


The destination
Could I change?
For you turned up not!

For the desert thirst throttled
Turns my heart
For petrifies my browsing feet!

For pupil in the starring eyes
Shrinks and shrivels
For ice turns
The blood in my frigid veins.

The last beggar is snoring high
Far off the plat form
Swirling smog at light post
Marks the last train.

Hands of the wrist watch
Still move in time.

The willow o wisp in the palm beach
Recedes to replace
The polestar
Off the horizon
Shut are the doors
Of near and dear
Come have the results on.

What is the destination?
What is the destiny either.
Who wrote it?
Did you?
